| Summary |
The Cone Snail might be chronically slow on the move but it's deadly fast in action. It's beautifully patterned and brightly coloured ... and it's a snail! It's been called 'the silent assassin' as it creeps around the sea floor in the dead of night hunting fish with its lightning fast harpoon.The venom of a Cone Snail is a cocktail of toxins, so intricate that no one has managed to crack the combination code. Dr Jamie Seymour is a venom expert and Cone Snails have not escaped his attention.Using a specially designed full face covering mask, full body diving suit and state-of-the-art technology, Jamie is accompanied by an apprehensive Kayne on a nerve-racking deep sea mission to record the speed of a deadly Cone Snail's harpoon.PRODUCTION DETAILS:A Mint Pictures Production, series producer Poppy Stockwell. Executive Producer Dan Goldberg |
